FROM MAHALAYA TO DASHAMI: DURGA PAINTINGS DEPICTED ACROSS HISTORY - A SERIES

Painting: Durgapat
Artist: Sh*tal Fouzdar

Every year, during Rath Yatra, the work for Durga patachitra starts in full motion at Sh*tal Fouzdar's house. Sh*tal Fouzdar is an artist of the 89th generation who practices the patachitra style, which is famous across Bishnupur. Durgotsav celebrations across the rajbaris in Bishnupur require three different 'Pateshwari Durga' - Durga patachitra locally called. One, known as the 'Boro Thakurani', then the 'Mejo' or 'Maitor' Thakurani, and then 'Chhoto Thakurani'. One would notice that goddess Lakshmi and Saraswati do not have their vehicles or the animals with whom they are usually depicted.

Infact, one of our experience: Kingdom of Clay, Sarees, and Song: An in-depth tour of Bishnupur's Heritage, Temples, and Arts, curated by Chelsea McGill explores the terracotta style temples and families of artists, as well as the Dashavatar Tash by Sh*tal Fouzdar himself!
